We all know the struggle of beloved services slowly going downhill. What’s one service, tool, or website you’ve been using for years that’s still great and hasn’t turned to crap?

perchance.org

tho thats sort of cheating since its run by one person with ideals that, instead of being out for profit, has no way to donate no matter how many times people try to, with their one monetary thing being ads on pages for nonlogged in users using ai generation to recoup some of, and not fully, their losses running the servers. Since im logged in, which is free, i never see those ads.

so, for me, its just 'a place', disconnected from the greedy capitalist crap all around us that tries to charge wherever it can. Because it's run by one person, it grows slowly, but it does. So that's the one internet place I've been for years that is the opposite of 'enshitification' and, instead, it grows better constantly, tho sometimes slowly.

The one other that comes to mind is sh.itjust.works

i have been here a year+ and have noticed no enshittification.

edit: i think alot of it has to do with whether the devs are doing it for ideals or for profit.
